    Show Us Your Cats Together

    The flash is making them much browner than they really are, and the proportions are out of wack, but Katniss on left, Joakim on right using her as a pillow. I have GOT to come to this thread more often.

    Christmas Tree Defender

    I was thinking along the same lines as all of you who replied, although I wanted to think it would work - I haven't put a tree up since I adopted my two wee mongrels two years ago Tuesday. I did come across a photo of a tree inside a china cabinet, which I may try out next year. But for this...

    Has Anyone Tried This Grooming Glove?

    Sadly, both of my kits run when I try to brush them with this.

    Comment by 'kirochka' in article 'What's The Largest Cat Litter Box (and Why Your Cat Needs It)'

    I tried covered and open litter boxes with my two kits to see which they preferred, and they made it very clear they preferred the uncovered kind. What I ended up doing was keeping the Petmate Top Entry pans, but leaving off the lids, and putting small foldable step stools next to them to make...

    Weirdness About Treats

    Thanks for the responses! As of their last vet visit, a few months ago, their teeth are fine. And you're very right that Joakim has Katniss nervous when it comes to treats, which makes me definitely want to use Loki's #jerkface hashtag. Anyway, mrsgreenjeens, it sounds like yours are very much...

    Weirdness About Treats

    Of my two 10-month-old kittens, each has a separate reaction to treats that is weird: Katniss can't deal with the texture of treats. Freeze-dried, kibble-shaped, chewy - she can't figure out how to eat them. If I tear the freeze-dried chicken into very small pieces, she can manage it...

    Comment by 'kirochka' in article 'Your Cat Probably Hates It When You...'

    I've definitely got two distinct personalities living with me. Joakim isn't much for sitting on my lap, but he'll sit next to me and fall asleep leaning on me. When he's ready, he'll come up to me on the bed or the couch, flop over and wait for the belly-rubbing to begin. Then it's milk-tread...

    How i avoid my cats waking me up for their wet food.

    Turns out, Joakim isn't quite so smart, and Karen isn't either! The door latch doesn't catch, so all he had to do was lean against it.  The lock doesn't work either, so last night I piled a few boxes against it. So far so good...

    How i avoid my cats waking me up for their wet food.

    UPDATE!!! This wee mongrel GOT MY BEDROOM DOOR OPEN YESTERDAY!!! Obviously, the placement of the old piano bench helped, but I have NO IDEA how he got the handle to open the door. Maybe he's grown opposable thumbs when I wasn't looking? Last night I had a major case of amnesia and decided, Eh...

    How i avoid my cats waking me up for their wet food.

    https://www.flareaudio.com/collections/isolate-mini I backed this brand on Indiegogo, I think it was, and have the larger size. I've ordered the smaller size because I think they'll be more comfortable for sleeping. Anyway, these and a closed bedroom door are all that stand between me and a...

    Cat couples

    Had to use the flash for this, so not the best quality, but I'm just loving how much these two non-litter-mates are now bonded.
